Is family drama forcing Kyle Richards to quit RHOBH?

Family drama has come to a head in 2015 for Kyle Richards.

Will she make amends in 2016? According to Rick Hilton, aka Paris and Nicky Hilton's father, the best way to heal things with the family may be by quitting Real Housewives of Beverly Hills after Season 6.

Perez Hilton has the scoop that Rick is "going around saying that Kyle has already told Bravo that she will be leaving RHOBH after this season." We're only five episodes in to Season 6, so there's still plenty of time for Richards to reveal when and why she'll be leaving the show.

The Season 6 Richards-Hilton plotline on RHOBH revolves around family drama, including Richards getting uninvited to her niece Nicky Hilton's wedding.

Richards and Kathy Hilton have been in the press this week for supposedly staging a friendly holiday photo taken at Kris Jenner's annual Christmas Eve party. If Rick's dirt is true, it looks like the family is still far from posing for photos.

A source revealed to E! Online that the picture was an opportunistic photo-op: "The photo was staged. Notice they're not even standing next to each other. It was an attempt to make everything look better than it actually is, but things are not smoothed over. They only saw each other briefly at the party." Tricky, ladies!

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs next on Tuesday, Dec. 29, on Bravo.
